Jukebox Fanworks Exchange

Recent Entries

Thank you very much to everyone for taking part! Thank you particularly to hhertzof, Measured_Words, and Nary, for tag wrangling, to lalalalalawhy, Measured_Words, merryghoul, Missy, Sumi, thedevilchicken, and Zdenka, for pinch hitting, and to lanalucy and within_a_dream for offering to beta read.

There was a short anon period this year; works have really only been available for a brief time. Although the year's challenge is over, I know I haven't seen everything that interests me yet, and I hope others will continue to view and/or comment along with me.

ETA: I will probably have 6 or 7 nominations per person next year instead of 8 - I think people enjoyed 8, but it's more work for me and matching was not as close as in previous years. I will also probably start the exchange sliiiightly earlier, offline commitments permitting, as Easter is much later in 2017 so I won't be planning around it.

All pinch hits are in! Thank you so much to the pinch hitters. Everyone who signed up & created a gift should also have a gift waiting for them.

The collection will open at 5:59pm EDT (give or take a minute) on Saturday 4 June. For those still editing or treating, here is that time in your time zone (the Countdown is to the right under Event Actions).

Treats are very welcome! Treats of any size or type can be posted to the main collection.

When posting a treat, remember to fill in your recipient's name (you can copy and paste it from the collection profile page, if it has unusual formatting).

I'm excited and I hope you are too. We're still working on tags (thank you hhertzof, Nary, Measured_Words); please contact me if your tags are mysteriously not showing up. As usual, I will post a Youtube playlist of all the songs that were written for - and have Youtube sources - before go-live.

My thanks to the tag wranglers, especially Measured_Words, who are working to ensure the fandoms of each work show up on the collection's fandoms page. If you're not sure how to tag your work, the formats in the tag set are a good guide. If your work isn't showing up on the fandoms page and you think it should be, please email me.

Treats are very welcome! Works of all types and lengths can be posted to the collection - see Post to Collection button at top right.

I'm impressed at the number of works submitted already. People still working, you (we) can do it!

If you see a hit on your work, it is because I am checking which songs have works, so that AO3 staff can look out for them to wrangle. I may check for completeness, but if I do, I won't do that until a few hours before works are revealed. I would appreciate if anything you uploaded was a rough draft at worst (no placeholder text, please) but I'm not going to police that.

If you don't think you can complete your work, please default (you can press Default next to your assignment on AO3) and I will ask pinch hitters to cover the assignment you are relinquishing. People default for many reasons; you don't need to let me know yours. I am concerned only with where pinch hits are needed.

However, I hope that applies to very few people, and that most participants are either done, nearly done, or convinced they will be very soon be nearly done. ^!^ (I am in the latter category.)

Please contact me at jukebox.mod@gmail.com if you have problems submitting your work or if you have any other questions.

There may be an issue with new fandoms being wrangled so that they appear on the fandoms page of the collection while works are still unrevealed and/or anonymous. I'm looking into it and will let you know what I know.

There are no initial pinch hits. Quite a few people could only match to one recipient, or to one writer, but you could all match to SOMEONE, in both directions, so thank you all for keeping an eye on the sign-up summary and making sure this was so.

I hope you enjoy your assignment! It should be visible at your account on archiveofourown.org, and it will have been emailed to the email associated with your AO3 account if you have this kind of email enabled. You can also see it on the collection sidebar, when logged in.

Now is a good time to check that you have entered any prompts you planned to enter into your sign-up. If you have written or are writing a letter, please check you have added the link to your sign-up form too.

The majority of offers and requests concern fanfic. If you want to sign up offering mostly podfic or art, feel free to ask me (jukebox.mod@gmail.com) about which canons in the sign-up summary have podfic or art requests, and I will give you as accurate an answer as I can at the time.

If you are working on a letter, please complete it by the end of 10 April in your time zone. Assignments should go out at some point between sign-ups closing and 8 April. Usually, Jukebox assignments go out very soon after sign-ups close - if there is a reason for an unusual delay, I'll let you know.
